Who knows - it’s just fake internet points. Hard to get worked up about.

Much of that money goes to permitting, admin, and insurance. What you’re seeing is probably the $10-20 million that wasn’t successfully siphoned off by bureaucrats.

tl;dr she didn’t send any obvious signals that she was pregnant, and didn’t get any ads. The headline only represents about four paragraphs from a very long article that rambles all over the place.

Just you; in my comparatively sane state most were never turned off and those that were came back within a few months.

Huh, never heard that before. Does it leak more information than just encrypting without zipping? Struggling to imagine how this attack works.

I am _very_ happy that the manufacturer of my car is a subservient cog wrt the infotainment system. They suck at when they’re not a subservient cog.

Good lord could you imagine the meltdown HN would have if Apple had taken this option to solve the old-batteries-support-lower-peak-current physics problem?

What incidents are you looking at that make you think pilot standards are too low? In the US?

ATC is a unique thing - if you’re interested, suggest listening to the https://www.opposingbases.com/ podcast. It’s eye opening how much complexity they deal with, and how frequent the edge cases really are.

Genuine question - why do you allow _any_ time? I don’t have kids, so I’m able to make these large generalizing statements: seems like personal connections to AI chatbots are a form of brain rot.

0-60 time is 2.6 seconds, or 10.32m/s^2 if it’s evenly distributed. So from zero you’d be doing 11.5mph in 0.5s (and travelled a little over four feet).

But importantly, it looks like this is more of a ratchet effect… so if your pedal is stuck at 100%, it’s because you pressed it that far (even if intending it to be momentary). That’s not something you’d normally do in a parking lot full of nuns, you’re probably on a highway with some time to react and press the brake. My guess is that’s why we haven’t seen a tragic accident out of this.

Sure seems like the solution is to get bank money out of housing. I say this as someone who’s usually on the free-market side of debates.

Is there a true downside to the plans occasionally thrown around in Congress to limit/disincent institutional investors housing holdings?

Unless they’re pressing the button on your phone, it’s not an issue.

Yeah, aka evidently the only place that has hardware & software teams good enough to do all this stuff on device.

Cards get declined. Support tickets get created. Customers die and you have to hold all their stuff open for 90 days while trying to reach them, without a chance of getting paid.

You might not be stupid, but there are people who look _just like you_ who will email support over a six cent billing issue which turns out to be correct anyway - but just burned a couple hours of support people’s time.

Epic probably doesn’t do stuff like that.
